the website for everything about Amstrad’s GX4000 console

Archive for May, 2018

This has been a long time in the works, but finally the completed remake for the classic arcade coin-op “Ghosts’N Goblins” for the Amstrad GX4000 has been released!

There’s so very few games for Alan Sugar’s failed console, so having a new game made for it is quite special! Especially considering it’s frickin’ “Ghosts’N Goblins” and the original conversion by Elite Systems to the normal Amstrad CPC over 30 years ago wasn’t really up to scratch with missing levels, Arthur’s doesn’t lose his armour to run around in his pants, etc!

We have Xifos to thank for coding this and also doing the graphics, with Targhan doing the music and sound. This is as close to the arcade original you’re going to find on an Amstrad machine!!

We are a bit late posting about this, but in December 2017 a BRAND NEW game for the Amstrad GX4000 called “Bears!” was released!

“Bears!” is a Zelda/RPG inspired game, and the story goes –

“You are a plucky young bear living in the forest surrounding Grizzly Manor. Something is afoot, Lady Grumpleton, resident of Grizzly Manor, hasn’t been seen for days. It’s up to you to set out from your cave and investigate!”

In February I did a live stream and longplay of the game which you can watch here!

A new site where you can buy and sell your own retro games, ran by a very good friend of mine who is a serious and knowledgeable collector in his own right. From Amstrad GX4000 carts to ZX Spectrum tapes with Xbox, Ninentdo and more inbetween! Customers can manage their own collections in great detail along with wanted lists and a new feature coming soon which will allow them to value their games done via a system which has been collecting data from the same games sold online elsewhere!
